food IS a theme park
Hello to all our DFB friends! Thanks for stopping by!
Flowers!
We spent a lovely day at EPCOT, checking out the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival and seeing what’s new. So are you ready for some updates!
Can you believe it’s already March? Like wasn’t it just Christmas yesterday?
Spaceship Earth and the New Lights
Okay, so we’re only THREE months into the New Year, but SO MUCH has happened at Disney World in 2021 already! Not only do we have a huge 18-month-long 50th birthday party to attend, but some parks and resorts are already looking a LOT different!
Yesterday, we shared some BIG news about EPCOT.
EPCOT
The long-anticipated Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will open in the newly-expanded France Pavilion on October 1st, 2021 — and we’ll also get to FINALLY try out the new La Crêperie de Paris. And ICYMI, these openings are happened on none other than Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary! As you can imagine, it’s gonna be a pretty busy day in the parks.
If you are the type to look swanky and swell at Walt Disney World, chances are you know about Dapper Day.
Disneybounding
This is an organization that celebrates retro style and modern “refined” style that throws it back to days of red lipstick, bouffant hairstyles, and petticoats. You may know them from their Dapper Day meetups at Disney World and Disneyland!
It’s the start of spring break season in Disney World!
Tree of Life
Even though a small majority of the U.S. population plans to travel this year, we’re still expecting MAJOR crowds in the parks. Disney’s been preparing, too: they’ve recently extended park hours and added Park Pass reservations. And guys, the time is HERE. Let’s take a look at how the crowds are shapin’ up for spring break in Disney World.
We hope you’re ready to join us in The Land pavilion in EPCOT as we grab some lunch!
The Land Pavilion
We’re stopping by a classic EPCOT counter service location in the pavilion: Sunshine Seasons. We noticed a couple of fun additions to the menu when we were checking it out on Mobile Order, and figured we’d swing in to give them a try AND bring you a review while we’re at it! [Read more…]
It’s been about a few years since we first learned that EPCOT would be getting its OWN version of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in the France Pavilion!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Ride Vehicle
This ride was originally supposed to open in summer 2020, but due to the global health crisis, the construction and opening date were delayed. We have seen a lot of work being done on the ride and the France pavilion’s expansion. Last year, Disney shared that the ride would be opening in 2021, and now we FINALLY have an official opening date!!
We’ve been looking forward to the extension of EPCOT’s France Pavilion for what feels like eons!
France Pavilion Expansion
With the announcement of a new ride called Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and a new crepe restaurant, what’s not to like? Disney announced that these attractions would open sometime in 2021, and now we have an official grand opening date for La Crêperie de Paris!
We’ve got a Disney dining update!
EPCOT
We’ve been BUSY trying all the new eats at EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival. But of course, we’re still keeping ya posted with other restaurant changes, too! And it looks like another food spot in the park may be closed for a while.
At first glance, you might look at this photo of Disney’s beloved princesses in Magic Kingdom during a cavalcade and think…how are these princesses anything like me? I don’t have a cavalcade with adoring fans waving at me (except for in my mind when I pretend to be a Hollywood A-lister as I sing my heart out in the shower).
Remember to Keep 6 Feet Apart — Even When These Ladies Show Up!
But, Disney celebrities sometimes are just like us! Those princesses for example, typically travel on a giant float. But, on this day, they were roughing it and walking the cavalcade route. Maybe they were part of a FitBit challenge at work and had to get those steps in? Maybe they’re trying to keep their New Year’s resolution to get in shape and not eat any more poisonous apples. We’ve spotted quite a few characters all around Disney World doing things that have totally made us think, “OMG. That’s SO us!” You might just be surprised at how much Disney celebrities are just like you!
